As I reached my last day up here, the weather turns, what a lovely day. Blue skies everywhere. Packing up I headed off to Latrigg to catch the early cloud inversion and sunshine. The views were as good as I’ve ever had up in Lakeland. With good weather comes lots of people and the Gale road car park was pretty packed at 10am but I have a small car and squeezed in and headed off. Once I had seen all that was good on Latrigg I went down to Derwent Water to see if I could get some reflection shots across the lake. The blue skies and blue waters made for some fantastic photos with lots of people all around. A brilliant last day before I drove the long 400 miles home.

Starting out from the Gale Road car park with an inversion over Lake Bassenthwaite. Grisedale Pike on the left is the pointy fell with the fells around Lords Seat to the right

Yesterday’s walk, the Coledale Horseshoe. Grisedale Pike on the right with Crag Hill at the back (Grasmoor is also behind that), Sail, Scar Crags and Causey Pike running to the left, with Barrow in front

There was hardly any wind at this point and I can imagine there was some brilliant reflection photos down by Derwent Water

The summit is just up from the bench and viewing point, although the view does not get any worse up here

Borrowdale at the far end of Derwent Water, the high point in the centre of the photo is Scafell Pike

Couldn’t believe my luck when I opened the curtains. Its the fastest I’ve packed a car for sure. Then a race to Latrigg to catch any inversion that was left!!
